It was as if there were thousands of troops trampling through Zhong Xian's life, crushing his real world in an instant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He saw countless shadows in the shards, like the countless reflective faces of a shattered mirror, and some of the shards would cast a ray of sunlight from the past—the grass was green, the breeze was wandering, and the sunlight was just right.

Some of the fragments give a faint glimpse of a person's shadow - the corners of a childish mouth, slender arms, evasive eyes.

He can't spell a whole person.

He couldn't remember the whole memory.

But, there was a man there. Maybe he provoked and then ignored again.

Zhong Xian returned home and sat in front of the computer all night to write a letter to Deng Yi.

Zhao Qi just gave him an email address. She said she knew very little and didn't think she had ever been in anyone's world.

After sitting all night, the bell string did not write a word. In the chaotic and discorded memory, he could not find a trace. Occasionally, when I think of a certain teenage playmate, if I think about it, it will never be Deng Yi.

Before dawn, he just typed the following words on the keyboard.

"I'm sorry. Forgive me. ”

He hated himself. I can't tell which part of the hate. His world was chaotic and divided, and there was never order. Today, I learned that some opportunities may have been blessed, but he could not see them like a blind man. He will only be like a lowly animal, walking for the sake of desire, living for the sake of living. Whether he has the strength or not, he doesn't know what he wants and what he can want.

But now he knows.

Something happened on the construction site.

It looked like the sky was about to fall.

The goods delivered to the construction site were all unqualified.

When he rushed into Zhong Xian's office in a panic, Zhong Xian was staring distractedly at the two potted plants in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Why can't your phone get through all morning?" On an early winter morning, European Airlines was sweating profusely. He sat on the same couch in Zhongxin's office where Dake often sits. Untie your jacket to reveal a blue and white striped T-shirt underneath.

"There was a problem with the inspection of both batches......"

"Did you do this on your first day?" Zhong Xian interrupted the other party, he didn't want to listen to European Airlines describe what happened again, Dake had already explained the reason to him on the phone last night.

Zhong Xian stood up, closed the shutters, and protected the two pots of nameless plants under the shadow.

European Airlines rubbed his hair angrily: "Didn't Dake say that it had been cleared?" Since I stuffed the red envelope to the supervisor, it doesn't make sense. If he hadn't told us the truth, would he have smoked a strip in the middle? ”

"What's the use of complaining about each other? If the monitoring is not qualified, he will not receive any benefit. Zhong Xin was not shocked. Maybe it's because of his recent confusion, and nothing can make him panic. "Just find a way to solve it."

"You already know it, why don't you show up?" Ueau is incomprehensible. It could be seen that he had come on purpose to pull the bell strings to the construction site.

"He can fix it." Zhong Xian took out a small blue transparent watering can from under the desk for the sample experiment, and sprayed the water mist evenly on the leaves of the two potted plants, and the ordinary and ugly plants looked a little alive.

It is actually common for the goods transported to the construction site to be unqualified in monitoring. The reason why people are panicking this time is because they have already made a plan in advance - it is a natural rule to collect money from people to replace others/eliminate disasters. What's more, their batch of goods are all genuine, just to cope with the first strict inspection.

Unexpectedly, where there shouldn't be a problem, there was a problem. And the problem should not really lie in the quality of the goods.

"The first shipments coming into the construction site were already stricter. What are you anxious about? Zhong Xian muttered, glancing at Europa on the couch. That guy looks a little changed today and seems to be more stylish. "You changed your hairstyle? This hippie style suits you perfectly. The three of us, on the contrary, you have been in this industry for the longest time, you have followed Mr. Li for so many years, and you have never seen anything in the world. How could you mess up because of such a thing? ”

"It's not like I'm messing around, it's just that you're too relaxed. It's because I've been in engineering for a long time that I find this a bit unusual. It doesn't make sense, it's all dotted up and down, how can there be problems. Unless...... Unless someone deliberately targets us. Will there be other competitors who have found a stronger relationship and want to replace us temporarily? ”

Zhong Xian shook his head: "We signed the contract and won the right to supply." They don't change their minds. This is an unwritten industry rule. Other peers will not come to interfere with it again. It is possible to make a little money in secret, and it will not have a big impact on us. ”

European Airlines sighed: "Although I have been with Mr. Li for seven or eight years, I have always been doing administrative work, rarely to the front line, not much contact with construction site affairs, and even less experience in large projects." To be honest, before you came, Mr. Li really hadn't worked on a mega project, and you still had the ability. But how do you feel absent-minded lately? It is not often that there is an opportunity to win a big project, and it is not a trivial matter to supply the goods for a large project. Since there is a problem with the part that Dake is responsible for, I suggest that you should take this opportunity to find out. ”

"He's fine. He can do it himself. Zhong Xian insisted. He has always been the little ghost on the construction site, and my sudden intervention has weakened his credibility. ”

European Airlines still thought unwillingly: "Otherwise, I'll go to the construction site." See how he handles it. ”

Bell String groaned. "Yes. You've got to find a good reason. Don't let him get too busy. Also, I'm going to Guangzhou on the weekend. ”

Listening to the words behind the bellstrings, European Airlines was surprised. "What are you going to do in Guangzhou? Do you have any other projects? Let's find a way to get rid of this trouble. ”

"Only going for one day. My high school classmates work at the design institute over there, and they almost get a project. ”

"Alas. You. Okay, it's okay if I'm cowardly. Let's wait quietly to see what Dake does. ”

Zhong Xin is not without headaches about the construction site.

If something like this happens, it means that they have to spend another sum of money to get it done. It is also necessary to re-prepare the sample for testing. The process is tedious and irritating. Dake was hot-tempered on the phone last night, and even blamed Zhong Xian. Just as European Airlines is now putting the blame on Dake, Dake has also given various reasons to put the responsibility on European Airlines, and he believes that it is European Airlines that did not understand the goods, resulting in unqualified sampling. There is even a sense of blaming Zhong Xian - blaming him for insisting on European Airlines in the first place.

Everyone was in a bad mood when something happened, and Zhong Xin didn't care.

Zhong Xian had only been to Guangzhou twice before. One was when I first came to SZ and had nowhere to go, I wanted to take refuge in a netizen in Guangzhou, and the other was at the invitation of the manufacturer to come here for a meeting.

His impression of the city was not too good. Traffic jams, unclear road signs, and it is common for outsiders to get lost while driving here. There are many urban streets and buildings that are very old, and although it ranks ahead of SZ in terms of reputation, it is significantly worse in terms of street scenery among the first-tier cities. Of course, the night view of several landmarks is still remarkable.

The day after meeting Zhao Qi, he called Pierce. Propose a party for the bandmates in high school. Despite the surprise, Pierce readily agreed, and arranged for them to meet in Guangzhou this weekend. Of the four members of the high school band, Pierce is currently in Guangzhou, with Zhong Xian, Ah Diao and Flying Saucer coming from SZ, Changsha and Beijing respectively.

When he learned that the flying saucers were from the Beipiao family, and this time he flew from Beijing to Guangzhou to meet them, Zhong Xian felt uneasy for a while.

The purpose of his asking Pierce to show up this party was naturally not just to tell his old classmates about old feelings. His purpose is more to collect the memories of the family and help him find the memories of the past.

Pierce arranged the party at a Shunde restaurant.

When Zhong Xian arrived, he was surprised to find that the other three people had brought instruments that represented their division of labor in the band, Pierce brought a small tambourine, Ah Diao carried a simple electronic keyboard, and the flying saucer carried the old electric bass from middle school. Zhong Xian walked into the private room of the hotel, and the other three looked at him with great energy, but his eyes fell on the three musical instruments.

Inexplicably, his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Wow, bellstrings." Pierce jumped. He had become a little fat man, with a hippopotamus-style head and a pigtail at the back of his head, like a designer. "Our lead singer is here, and it's still that handsome. Everyone quickly beat him down, and there will be revenge and revenge. ”

Obviously, at the age of teenagers, the experience of the four of them forming a band is a great asset in each other's hearts. In retrospect, it's full of beauty.

The three people who are talking and laughing and are full of excitement are like three fiery suns. So that the bell strings also had to be infected.

"What are you doing in the north? I heard that it really had something to do with music. Zhong Xian asked the saucer. Of the four, only UFO firmly chose to work in the music-related industry all the time.

"I've done an arranger, and I've been in a band in a bar." UFO said. His appearance is decent, and his ordinary hairstyle in a white T-shirt and jeans is the least like an artist among them.

"Haven't you starved yet?" Pierce teased him.

"I'll talk about it when I'm starving. When the time comes, will it be possible to find you to take it in? ”

Ah Diao, who was slender and wore a black suit, spoke deeply: "At the beginning, we were just a hobby in the band, and I never thought we could do it." It has always been a regret for me to be forced to separate from college. Even if we are each doing our own duties now, each in the world, if you call, I am willing to go to Guangzhou to find a new job, and we will also play in the band together, in the past, it was a youth band, now it is a youth band, and in the future, it will be an elderly band......"

"That's exactly what I want!" Pierce toasts with an eagle. Zhong Xian looked at them without saying a word, and the saucer shook his head and sighed.

"What are you sighing about?" Pierce said to the flying saucer, "You can't let go of Beijing, can you?" Do you have to wait until Beipiao starves to death before he comes to us? ”

"I have a girlfriend in Beijing." UFO said, smirking triumphantly. "Or do you think I won't come?"

"In the end, reality is more cruel." Pierce laughed and said, "Whatever separation makes us all miserable, I think it's all self-inflicted." The past can only be a good memory. Zhong Xian, why do you talk so little? ”

"I'm so excited." Zhong Xian said. "I almost couldn't hold back the flowing horse pee. Do you believe it? ”

"I don't believe it. You're the most heartless. If not you. We're not going to be apart. I said I was going to go to university in the same place. You traitor. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Zhong Xian pretended to be stupid.

"Have you forgotten this?" Ah Diao is also very dissatisfied. "We all applied for the same city, and we were expecting to be admitted to the same school. As a result, I was admitted to BH Engineering College with Pierce. The flying saucer fell into a junior college in BH. But not far. You're the only one who went to a foreign language institute on the other side of the city. How did we not know that you also applied for a foreign language college? ”

"It was a pure accident." Zhong Xian laughed. "If I can be with you, who wants to run away to another place alone."

"Zhong Xian's school is indeed one grade higher than the three of us, and I believe he is also helpless." Pierce said.

"He was a gangster in high school, and he did better than us in the college entrance examination. God is also too partial to him. ”

"Just because college is a little better doesn't mean it's preferred." Zhong Xian said. "People grow. For example, flying saucer, now that he has a girlfriend, he must feel very happy to see his sour appearance. Do you think he was favored by fate? The devil knows, what's good and what's bad. ”

"So how are you doing now?" Pierce looked at the bell strings earnestly. "Don't you have a girlfriend? No way. ”

"Which one do you ask?"

"Understood. It's still old morality. There are so many girlfriends that I can't tell which one is true love. "The flying saucer laughed heartlessly." Whether it's still fresh every night, I have to remind you that it is entirely out of the selfless care of buddies - be careful of getting sick of you. ”

"I've heard that there are more tricks in Beijing, so you should be careful. Don't believe I don't have a girlfriend? That's the impression I give you. Was I not innocent in high school? ”

"Of course. You were a heartthrob then. The lead singer, he's a ruffian, he's bad and handsome, and I can still see that picture all the time - you have brass rings all over your ears, and once you had a fake tattoo behind your ears, but it's really sexy. I'm a man, and I want to knock you down and destroy you. Hey? You don't have any of them with you now. The company won't allow it. ”

"You're the one with the brass ring, you're the cow."

Pierce was right. You were like that. The saucer pointed to the studs on his ears. I can't bring out your effect, I don't look like you. At first, many of my classmates said you were gay. ”

Zhong Xian almost squirted out in a sip of tea. "Fart." When he noticed that the other three were looking at him strangely, he felt that his reaction was a little intense. "I just, whatever. Be careful that I sleep with you. ”

The other three laughed, disapproving.

"The good things of the past can't be returned. What did we do to form the band in the first place? Zhong Xian said.

"The first year of high school, isn't it because the school held a talent show to form a band? The four of us are from four different classes, haha, it's fate. ”

At the suggestion of Zhong Xian, they carefully recalled the whole process of the formation of the band, and took out every detail to chew. In this process, Zhong Xian felt the true feelings of the three partners, and his heart couldn't help but ache. He couldn't tell the cause of the pain, the days were so beautiful, like a mirror separated by the other side of time.

"What's wrong with you?" Pierce, in his elatedness, looked at the bellstrings.

"Nothing, let's have a drink." Zhong Xian raised his glass, and when he drank it, tears welled up in his eyes, "It turns out that I still have a kind of happiness, but I didn't know it at the time." It was once so good that it can never be looked back on. ”

The other three people were also a little emotional. Flying saucer laughed, "Don't cry." Zhong Xian, you're so emotional now. We're all still there, and we're still together. We came to denounce you for turning your back on us. But, forget it! It's not too late, we're still so young and we're still together. You can also continue to play in the band. Cry. ”

"Zhong, why haven't you heard from you since your sophomore year?" Ah Diao asked. "It's like it's missing. We know something happened to you in college. I heard you ......"

"Ahem!" Pierce coughed, and Eagle looked at him. "Zhong Xian formed a new band in college. But it's nothing to do with the three of us. Ah. I'm not jealous. ”

Zhong Xian put down his glass. "I didn't tell you. I have amnesia. I had a brain injury a few years ago, and I don't even remember how I got hurt. It was the doctor who told me that I had the sequelae of a concussion, which was frequent, and that it may have affected my memory. ”

All three looked at him in amazement. "Really?" UFO exclaimed.

"I'm here not only to tell you about my old feelings and get together. I still want to reminisce with you about the past. Let's see if there's a problem with my memory. Have you forgotten something and not knowing it? ”

"Do you remember who we are?" Pierce said, looking at the other two.

"Of course I do. Meticulous. From how we met to the present remember. I guess I just forgot something, or someone. ”

"What is this like...... Forget only a part? ”

"I don't know. I'd like to ask you if this person ever appeared when we were in the band's inception. Zhong Xian used his mobile phone to show a photo of Deng Yi. All three of them came over to take a look. Then you look at me, and I look at you.

"Who is this?" UFO asked.

"You don't know each other?"

"Is it a former classmate? It's not my class. There were only four of us in the band. Did this person appear when he was selected? At that time, there were quite a few people participating in the draft, and after so many years, it has probably changed. I can't tell. Why ask this one alone? ”

"Because this man said he was a good friend of mine." Zhong Xian lied.

The other three widened their eyes and took a closer look at the photo again. "He's also a handsome guy, so it's not that he doesn't have any impression at all. Unless he wasn't so handsome back then. ”

"He was autistic at the time and could have been reticent."

Pierce snapped his head. "I'm impressed. The establishment of the band was done by you. You united the school's music teacher. Building a band requires money to buy musical instruments. The teacher once introduced you to someone else as a tutor and teach others to play the guitar. I remember the teacher said that he had a friend's child who had autism and needed to practice communicating with others, so let you teach him to play the guitar, but mainly to talk to him......"

"Go on!" The bell strings began to get excited.

"Later, the money you paid for the four of us to buy musical instruments was earned by you after you became a tutor. But you seem to have only been a tutor for a week, and then you won't go. ”

"Just a week of tutoring? Why didn't I go. ”

"You said your goal was accomplished. It's time to start a band. You've got enough money anyway. Why bother teaching a dumb person with no talent? Pierce touched his head and raised his voice, "I remember!" It was true that we formed a band. I was very busy every day, so I gradually forgot about it. ”

Ah Diao pointed to Zhong Xian's mobile phone screen and said, "Are you sure that autistic child is the person in the photo?" How old was he, fourteen or five? ”

"I haven't seen it." Pierce said. "Only the bell strings themselves have seen it. I just know about it. If it weren't for that, we wouldn't have the money to buy musical instruments. It's the money that the bell strings get. I got enough money in a week. ”

"A week?" Ah Diao said suspiciously, "What money can be earned in a week, it's too fast." ”

The saucer also looked at the bellstrings. "How did you get it, it couldn't have been stolen, would it? What happened to the autistic teenager? Then he sighed, "You were a ...... when you were able to do that." Alas, young and frivolous. ”
